EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 (or who feel like it) Begin by standing on a
comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a
5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your
sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute,
and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for
just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato
sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to
where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms
straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.) After you feel
confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.

Thanks, Donna. This is why I always read the last page of a book first.
